“The Spider” Silva’s Best Cards
Jon Jones may be the end boss of the UFC and quite possibly unbeatable. Georges St-Pierre is synonymous with dominating the welterweight division. But Anderson Silva is the greatest martial artist ever to enter the Octagon. Watching him was like watching Michael Jordan – you never knew what astonishing athletic feat you would see next. The Spider brought a level of excitement to the UFC not seen before or since.
